NoRwALK, Nov. 1.-THE Oldest person in
Connecticut. so far as there is documentary
evidence to prove it, is Mrs. Nancy Coley of
Easton, who, should she live until Tuesday,
Nov. 30. will have completed her 1OSth year.
She was born on Greenfield Hill on Nov. 90,
1779, and has been the mother of twelve
children, all but two being now dead. She
was the daughter of Titus Burr, who came to
this country about the year 1882. When
Mrs. CoIey was born she was so small that
the nurse is said to have put her in pewter
teapot and closed the lid, As girl she was
frail, but grew up to be strong woman and
was remarkable for her daring and eudur-
ance.
At the age of 5 years she saw the soldiers
when they were returning from the Revolu-
tionary war. Since arriving at the age of Is
she has been an habitual user of snuff, and
constantly on hand. Within the past year
this wonderful old lady has lost her memory
to great extent. Previous to this it was
interesting to hear her talk of events which
occurred many years before the war of 1912
and of her childhood.

Close of the Trial of Jake Brown the
Wife Murderer of BrIdgeport-The
Prisoner Much Affected at the Re-
suit.
BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 1.-THE closing argu-
ments in the Jake Brown murder trial were
begun at 10 o'clock this morning. Juuge
Lockwood and State Attorney Chamberlain
made the arguments to-day. Brown
at the side of Judge Lockwood,
but sat in the prisoners dock, still closely
guarded by Deputy Pike. The court room
was crowded. When court resumed this af-
ternoon Judge Stoddard began his charge to
the jury. This consumed exactly SO minutes.
It was in the main simply a review of the
definition of murder in the first and second
degrees, and of manslaughter, read from
various authorities, principally from those
quoted by the counsel for the prosecution
and defense at the opening of the trial. It
was perfectly fair charge, and could not in
any way be regarded as unfavorable to the
prisoner, being, if anything, the other way.
He read the definition of the various degrees
of crime, and quoted extensively against
malice, actual or implied. There were thir-
teen requests to charge the Jury offered by
the defense, and Judge Stoddard complied
in all but one, remarking that the others
were substantially the same as had been Of
fered in his instructions. The one refused
was to the effect that the jury should be ask
ed to bring in verdict of manslaughter. It
was nineteen minutes before O'Clock when
the jury marched out, one by one, and passed
into their little room. Jake covered his face
with his handkerchief, and remained in this
attitude for ten minutes or more After
being out an hour and thirty-n nine minutes
the jury returned with verdict of guilty of
murder in the second degree. The prisoner
was much affected. Judge Stoddard SEN
fenced Brown TO imprisonment for life

The Collecting Committee of st. Fran.
cis' Orphan Asylum Meet With Ex-
ceIIent Success-The Public Responds
Most Generously and Nearly $4,000
ia Cash is Realized.
The hearts of the orphans of the ST. Fran
els asylum were made glad yesterday by the
bountiful results of the annual donation day.
The collections surpassed all former ones, and
it was said last night that between So, 500
and 81 900 in donations of money had been
made. The gentlemen who formed the dona-
ton committee worked energetically all day,
and hence the good results. A large room at
the asylum was filed last evening with a
great variety of groceries, merchandise, cloth
ing, etc. The headquarters of the commit
tee were at Alexander Emery's store on
Crown street.
Load after load of merchandise was car
ried out to the asylum during the afternoon,
and the wagons were no SCORER empty than
they were on their way back to the city for
another load. The people responded most
generously, realizing most thoroughly the
nature of the charity. After completing its
labors the committee proceeded to the or
phan asylum, where they received a most
hearty greeting. There was an excellent en-
tertalnment Dy the orphans Whcn was nlgnly
commended, after which a luncheon was
served. The money collected was turned
over to Charles Atwater, the treasurer of the
institution, who met the committee at the
asylum.
The following was collected by Mr. Edward
Keaveney, the popular sexton at ST. Mary's
church: Edward Heaton 800, Dominican
fathers, L. w. Morris, Prof. Henry G. Far

INA HARTFORD CHURCH.

Pastors Anarchy Sermon-The
Practitioners TO Talk over She
Case.
The sermon on the Anarchists by the Rev.
Mr.. Kimball, pastor of the Unitarian church,
Hartford, an extract Of which was published
Tuesday, has proven bombshell in the pas
tors congregation and fomented greatly a
want of harmony which has existed among
his people for some time past The society's
committee has called meeting of the socie-
ty for Tuesday evening next, when a free
and full expression of opinions regarding the
pastors anarchy sermon will be in order.
The average attendance at the church is
about one hundred. The Hartford Times
says of the sermon: He justified the princi-
pies of the Anarchists, and declared that they
should not have been hanged, He placed
the judge and jury who tried them in the
same category in which Pontius PLATE and
the men who crucifed Christ have been
placed in the Christian world. The Sfevents ,"
he said, were similar. His printed sermon
all through was calculated to encourage An
archlsts and to lead young men and thought
less persons into their dangerous doctrines
1t was well calculated to justify the immi-
grants who come here, ignorant of our in
situations, in revolutionary schemes, and in
making war upon our government. They
cannot read English, but their lead
ers in the secret meetings which they hold
can read it aud translate it to them. Mr..
Kimball is entitled to his opinions. He may
write them, print them, speak them in this
free country provided he does not urge vio-
| lence. But it becomes a very important
question with Unity church whether it will
| employ pastor who entertains such danger
GUS views as these which Nj. KimbaU preach
/ ed in Unity pulpit last Sunday and which he
| has published. The church was founded to
promote moral ideas law-abiding citizenship
| religious views of the conduct Of life, and to
make men and women better The entire
/ idea of Its founders was directly hostile and
i opposite to the ideas of the Anarchists,
which are neutrality-suspicious. to ali
| government-and which if carried out
would lead to chaos, wild license and
acts of appalling horror in society. Mr..
| Kimball may see that his usefulness is gone
in Unity church; that he cannot, with his
peculiar views and methods, ever succeed in
making it prosperous. If he finds this we
think he will conclude to retire gracefully
and in a friendly spirit. Otherwise it would
not be pleasant for him; and were he to
show himself able still to maintain his place
in that pulpit in the face of all that has oc-
CURED the church would stand branded in
this community as being tainted with doc
trines of the Anarchists, and no matter what
excuses or explanations Mr. Kimball may
make he can never relieve the church from
this imputation SO long as he remains its
| pastor.

aged sixty-f after long illness with rheu-

PrOmpter w. w. Smith Hangs Him
self With Some Picture Wire.
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 17.-W. w. Smith, one
of the best known prompters in the State,
hung himself at noon to-day with piece of
silver picture cord from the railing around
the stairway of one of the upper chambers of
his residence on Main street. His body was
first discovered by his wife. Dependency
was the cause. The news of the suicide
spread quickly about the town and created
great excitement. He was one of the best
known characters of the place. His voice
has been heard at the leading balls in this
part of the State for years. He has done
fair business, having about the only 1estau-
rant in town. When he retired this morning
he said he was going to lie down and take
nap, and nothing suspicious was noticed in
his manner or appearance. His friends were
not worried at all until he failed to come
down to dinner, and nothing was done until
2 o'clock when his wife went up to his room
and made the alarming discovery. For a
long time he had been respondent and
brooded over his troubles. Deceased had
frequently prompted at balls of prominence
n New Haven and had many friends there
Medical Examiner Beards1ey was at once
informed of the suicide and instituted the
usual inquiry. Mr.. Smith had often been
Respondent and lately had drank inordinate,
ly. 1t is probable temporary fit of low
spirits or sudden alteration of mind pro-
voked him to the deed. Mr.. Smith was well
known in the Naugatuck Valley as prompt
er at the balls and a genial host. The res
taurant was always neat and orderly, and the
only one for years of any grade in the Bir-
mingham village. The deceasedtleaves wife
and one son, 'fBilly," as was his sobriquet,
was horn in Birmingham Eng and would
have been ffty-fve on the 9Th of December
The deceased was a Knight Templar and

LOOMS Temple was filled last night with
joyous throngs of young people. Dancing
was enjoyed from about 9 until II, and then
came intermission for supper, which was
served in the banquet room adjoining. The
happy occasion was surprise party in honor
of William H. Yale, very popular young
gentleman who is engaged in the electric de-
partment of the clock mandatory. Mr.. Yale
was inveighed uneonsciously into the trap
deity set for him and found not only one
friend, but over two hundred assembled at
the hall to do him honor, and one-half of the
number pretty young ladies to boot. 1t is
needless to say that he gracefully yielded. A
more complete surprise could hardly have
been perpetrated, as Mr.. Yale happily &C
knowledged in a few very appropriate words
of acknowledgment at the feast. The ladies
supplied the refreshments and the supply
was both very tsmpting and most abundant
There were 107 couples in the grand march,
which was led by Mr.. Yale and Miss Laura
J. Driesbach, followed next by Mr.. Yale's
uncle, Mr.. E. D. Warner, and mother, Mrs.
Yale. Hyatt's orchestra furnished the music
